Dasara Subhakankshalu - Bimmakoluvu for Personality Development

[Guest guest]

Dasara Subhakankshalu to our Advaitin Group.

 

Vijaya Dashami also known as Dasara, Dasa-Hara,Navaratri, Durgotsava ... is one

of the very important and fascinating festivals of India. It is a celebration of

victory of good over evil and is celebrated throughout the country at the same

time, with varying rituals, but with great enthusiasm and energy signifying

National Integration and celebration of life.

 

A very interesting and significant ritual in these celebrations is 'Bommala

Koluvu " with a great recognition of craftmanship. The Bommala Koluvu of Gollu,

the display of dolls during the festival days of Dasara is said to represent the

assembly that was held before Goddess Durga before the slaying of Mahishasura ,

the buffalo-headed demon. Through bommala koluvu,children are introduced to the

lessons of personality development, the ultimate of which is 'Kaivalyam'. They

are given the lessons of life through dolls. By answering the questions of

children about the dolls , a good continuation of tradition and seeds of

excellent living are planted in their enthusiastic fresh minds.

 

It is the responsibility of elders in the family to keep the young generations

informed of traditions for a happy personal life and for a welfare society.

 

I request you to listen Bommala Koluvu with your grand children and family on

this happy Dasara.
